Motivation¶

okurz asked bmwiedemann shared the original story behind os-autoinst. Bernard was on the openSUSE testing team and was assigned the task of testing the installer. Which meant tedious and dull work of waiting for 4GB ISO files to download when it's not even clear if those things even boot. And as the Perl founder Larry Wall states, important traits of programmers are lazyness, impatience and hybris. Which led to developing os-autoinst to automate installations

Acceptance criteria¶

• AC1: The original story appears somewhere when following https://open.qa

Suggestions¶

• Just include the text from the "Motivation"-section in an appropriate file within os-autoinst or openQA
• Talk to Bernhard about how openQA saved SUSE
